Jordysnordy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Picked this up last week at Montreal Comiccon. Lots of mags this time but I either had them or they weren't in high enough grade for me - but a good sign that there was lots of choice. On a side note, this issue is in color and it really doesn't appeal to me!! The Lions Den, FoggyNelson, batmiesta and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post batmiesta Posted July 17, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I think it was black and white up to issue #9 then colour thereafter. Any excuse to show one of my all time favourite covers. Edited July 17, 2018 by batmiesta comicjack, The Lions Den, deadleg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons for Marvel’s magazine line was that they were not subjected to the Comic Code Authority and thus could publish more mature/risky content, which was especially evident in the horror/monster magazines.

Popular Post Rune Posted July 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Incredible - I won an award - didn't think I had any chances this year - nearly got tears in my eyes when I saw it - yes, it really moved me, thank you CGC! ___________________________________________________________ Best Presented Sets Rune - Boris the Savage - Savage Sword of Conan (Boris Vallejo Covers Only) Rune, we agree! Dr. Jones would say “This should be in a museum!“ Your dedication to consistently upgrading these works of art is truly commendable and has not gone unnoticed. We understand the struggle in trying to find these oversized gems in such amazing condition and applaud your tireless efforts. We have our fingers crossed for you to find that missing #15 in high grade to finish off this beautiful set. _____________________________________________________ It's this set (I know, it's embarrassing I didn't get a photo of the #13 back cover - again, really didn't expect to win anything this year, I'll take the photo later today ). All mags are the highest graded and have pure WP (except #13, it's the second highest graded and has OW-W) . As noted, I'm still trying to find #15 - that is, the single highest graded #15, sigh... https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=115064&SelectedTab=SetListing Edited July 21, 2018 by Rune ADAMANTIUM, tv horror, DeadOne and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you (all :-) - I hope my descriptions aren't too boring - I think it's great that CGC shows appreciation for such a limited magazine collection. Actually I'm not sure that my mag presentations are that great; I'm wondering if the CGC also gave me the award to show some appreciation for the Savage Sword of Conan magazines, given that my set isn't complete, and currently no one has been able to collect the first 100 issues in a set (I had high hopes for Topnot (Al) to do this, but I'm not sure he prioritizes his set much these days - at least he sold #12 some months ago on eBay).
